Thursday, September 09, 2004"What have you heard about Akron, Ohio?'' he asks rhetorically. He mentions tires, the stench of rubber, smokestack grime and the phrase ``sick and dying,'' and gets a moan of quiet consensus. I thought the same thing before moving here. I also thought of it as the white bread capital of the world thanks to Martin Mull's mockumentary The History of White People in America, which had the Institute for White Studies located in Akron. (Or maybe it was the museum of white culture, can't remember.) I really didn't want to come here, and only agreed to come out for a job interview because I really hated my previous job and was looking for just about any way out of it. But, when I came here for a job interview I was pleasantly surprised by the city's diversity. I haven't regretted moving here yet. posted by Sydney on 9/09/2004 08:57:00 AM 0 comments 0 Comments: |
